This black sandal is versatile enough to wear with a sundress or to throw in a beach bag, and has elegant details (hello sparkles and perfectly cut leather!) that make it wearable for nighttime, too!

In addition to its good looks, the Cedar is easy and comfortable to wear. This handmade sandal is lightweight, offers great arch support and is a breeze to walk in all day. Need more convincing? Head over to the store and we’ll show you how wonderfully it pairs with a Prairie Underground dress. We think you’ve just found your spring and summer uniform… ;-)

Get THE DRESS for Spring and Summer!

We’re excited to host a trunk show with new-to-the-Seattle-fashion-scene April Pride, offering you access to her innovative design – THE DRESS. The event will take place next Thursday, May 16th, 3 to 8 p.m.

Originally given to her as a vintage piece, April found THE DRESS was magic – it could fit nearly every body type and every occasion! With this unique versatility in mind, she re-created the design. Ideal dressed up or down to wear with your favorite summer sandals or nighttime pumps, you’ll be able to custom order a piece from April’s Collection No. 1, seen in this video.

The details: THE DRESS is made to order in Seattle with a 6-week lead-time, and retails for $295 (shipping included). In addition, limited edition and one-of-a-kind items will be available for sale.

How to style it: With a one-size-fits-most style, THE DRESS is adorable with a bandeau top underneath and can be worn a multitude of ways (buttoned up, buttoned down, belted or not), which we think you’ll love!

Hope to see you there!

This is for all of you ladies who love yoga, Pilates, Nia, or Pure Barre, but who don’t necessarily enjoy going barefoot on a studio floor. The Nike Studio Wrap has got you covered! Also, who doesn’t need a little more traction? The Studio Wrap has a tiny traction pads so you can warrior with a little more assurance that your feet will stay put while you try to push your limits. I got the classic black as pictured, but have yet to lace up my wraps ballerina-style as shown here. untitled

Sizing is true, and they are washable. You know we have to really love a shoe that we bought from someone other than ourselves!Just wanted  to share…

Diana rocks Prairie Underground’s Jean Bellows Jacket

Wear the Jean Bellows jacket from Prairie Underground with your skinny jeans? That’s a no-brainer. But we love this jacket so much, we also wanted to see it styled in some not-so-predictable ways. So we asked Diana to send us a photo with some styling inspiration, as she’d recently purchased it, and we knew that she’d put together something spectacular. (We love it when we’re right!) Here she shows us how to pair with a  girly skirt (of her own making) and simple tee, doesn’t she look smashing? Diana is all about bringing a look together using details like the grey piping on the skirt echoing the color of the jacket. Love it!

We are officially in love with Liberty Print

Melissa shoes brings us another example of what they do so well – incorporate art, design and inspiration from many sources. While collaborations with Zaha Hadid and Vivienne Westwood were quirky and fabulous, the use of Liberty Prints on the Ultragirl peep toe is simply sweet and adorable. Really, what wouldn’t you wear this cute little flat with? Super comfy, walkable, packable (heck, even washable!), we see you taking the Ultragirl on your next trip to sunny climes.  ps Don’t you think a jelly shoe is perfect for Seattle’s spring weather?15-1-31150-melissa-ultragirl-liberty
